CHINA EXCHANGE OPPORTUNITY
We have strong relationships with China and have worked with successful online projects such as the delivery of the University of London International Foundation Programme, IELTS preparation and cultural awareness training.
Our partner, Unieducation, based in Hangzhou on the south-east coast of China is highly regarded and works with two wonderful schools – WenChang High School and Hangzhou Yuhang No.1 Senior High School.
These schools recognise the value of exposure to the wider world to their students, particularly those with ambitions to study at a UK university.
For participating schools there is the opportunity to welcome Chinese students to their school community for which they are compensated. In addition, students from the UK are invited to Hangzhou to experience life at a Chinese school and spend time sightseeing around the city known locally as ‘Paradise on Earth’. All expenses in China are covered by the schools and a warm welcome is guaranteed.
Through Unieducation, students aged 14-17 are offered winter and summer programmes in the UK.
Five days are spent at a UK school where each child is set up with a ‘buddy’ to attend classes and activities with them and live with a host family.
For the remainder of the stay, the students travel to visit places of interest around the country before returning home to China.
We are now seeking co-educational secondary schools throughout the UK to forge new partnerships with these two schools.
Group sizes would typically be about 20 students and they would need accommodation and meals (this is paid for by the Hangzhou schools).
They would attend school for 5 days accompanied by their UK buddies and take part in any activities.
Then, as part of the exchange, your students (and staff) will be able to travel to China for an unforgettable life experience.
For a no-obligation discussion about a potential partnership with your school, please email hello@icenimastermind.org.
We can then answer any initial questions you might have, then should you wish to find out more, we can arrange a Zoom call with China at a time to suit you.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the schools in the UK and China, delivering what we believe is a win-win for the institutions and most importantly, the students.
